Yes. As the global project mondo was needing also buffer and afio, I chose to
began with those bricks which are external. I can easily make a request for
mindi-busybox once those have been accepted.

As already entioned many times, we nee a very well known version of busybox
during restore time (having some functions activated and other not) which we
rely deeply on. Upstream is maintaining such a project based on an older but
more stable (at least known) version of busybox in order to avoid unexpected
issues.

THat may evolve in the future but is now required. Hope this helps.
